Description: Asano Inio's first artbook, containing various illustrations and color pages from his works between the years 2006-2010. The artbooks also contains two oneshots. One of them is the 16 pages side story to Solanin, called "Awaiting Summer", and interview with the mangaka and a detailed description of his previous works. [Translated from Sad-Robot]

Note: "Awaiting Spring" was translated from the Russian release by Sad Robot. HotCakes is not taking this as an official project and all further releases will depend on the group's progress. If any other group is interested in re-releasing from Japanese - please go ahead.

@Kelly The thing is, we're a MANGA scanlation group. We focus on working on manga from Japan (and in the future, if we find translators, maybe some manhwa or manhua), rather than comics from the rest of the world.

Even if we sometimes, like in this case, translate from Russian to English, it is only because we couldn't find original Japanese raws of the short story.

Moreover, with our small number of staff, even if our darling leader can translate from Russian we probably wouldn't prioritise any project not from Japan. We will probably never work on an original Russian comic.
